US media assesses possibilities of new Russian aircraft carrier

Thanks to the new Russian aircraft carrier of the Chtorm project (storm, in French), the balance of forces in certain regions of the world, from the Mediterranean to the Asia-Pacific, would be modified in favor of Russia, indicates the portal Military Watch.

Thanks to the new Russian aircraft carrier of the Chtorm project (storm, in French), the balance of forces in certain regions of the world, from the Mediterranean to the Asia-Pacific, would be modified in favor of Russia, indicates the portal Military Watch.

The Russian aircraft carrier of the Chtorm project (23000E) could upset the balance of power and consolidate Moscow’s positions in several parts of the world, announces the Military Watch portal. In the Mediterranean Sea, where Russia has already significantly strengthened its presence since the beginning of its military operation in Syria in 2015, this ship would be useful to guarantee the security of this country, the main ally of Moscow in the region, underlines the portal. In addition, the positioning of a Russian aircraft carrier in the waters of the Mediterranean would become a symbol of Moscow’s support for the Persian Gulf countries, including Iran, with which it also develops political and military relations.In addition, the Chtorm project building would be able to carry out missions in cold regions of the globe, particularly in the Arctic. Since US aircraft carriers are not designed for operations in such climatic conditions, the Russian Navy would take a decisive advantage in this region, which is exceptionally rich in natural resources, says the portal.

He added that this aircraft carrier would strengthen Russian positions in Asia-Pacific where the balance of forces would not be changed in favor of Japan and some Western countries.

The development of the Chtorm project could be of interest to potential buyers of aircraft carriers, including China and India. Given all these factors, building this building seems appropriate, says Military Watch.

The Chtorm project was presented to the general public for the first time at the Army-2015 forum. In 2017, the Russian Deputy Minister of Defense, Yuri Borisov, announced the construction of the new aircraft carrier would start in 2025.
